How,most fit on the front wheel,I need it on the back wheel

Works the same, both wheels go around. Depending on wire lengthy you may need to extend it or put the head on the top tube. Wireless always seem to work fine for me.

When on the turbo trainer the front wheel is stationary,have you used wireless on the rear wheel,if yes which model.

I have been using a turbo for close on 30 years so I know about the front wheel.

Just buy the cheapest one you can get, that has been my way for a turbo computer. I think an Aldi or Lidl one was my last before going Garmin.

I used my normal computer and lengthen the cable, you may have to alter the mountings a wee bit

Sorry to keep on,were they wired or wireless I am concerned that a wireless one won't be powerful enough

crossed wires there, I would like wireless really but worry about the range

I use one of these:

The rear-wheel fitting kit was included as standard. The other computers I looked at were front-wheel fitting, and the rear kit had to be bought separately.

I didn't want a wireless one because I felt that the extra distance and my body blocking some of the signal might cause a problem. I might be wrong about that, but wasn't prepared to risk it.

And the wired one was cheaper.

That looks good

If it works by gps how does it know when you are using a turbo ?
